WHITE WINES (ORANGE WINE)

Our white wines are especially unique and made in a natural and historic style now known as “orange wine”. They are fermented on the skins (like a red wine) which imparts a rich, deep color and flavor. This method of winemaking creates white wines that wines are very different than typical whites normally encounter.

Orange Wine – although delicious and unique – does not taste like a typical white wine. We urge you to visit our tasting room to learn more and taste these wines before purchase.

This Muscat was made in our traditional “orange” style with one exception. Instead of fermenting on the skin for the majority of the fermentation, we pressed it off a bit earlier. This led to a ridiculously fruity, delicious and easy drinking Muscat that is hard to beat in this warm weather.

Muscat is known for it’s amazing aromatics, and this is no exception. Beautifully layered notes of orange blossom, meyer lemon, honeysuckle and white grape fill out the nose. On the palate, there’s a slight richness but finishes with a clean, crisp citrus note.

This was the very first vintage of Sauvignon Blanc we ever produced. Fermented on the skins and then manually pressed with a basket press, this refreshing wine has plenty of energy and focus. The zippy acidity that once dominated the wine in it’s youth has now softened with age. It’s beautifully textured with notes of bees wax and white pear.

This gorgeous Chard strikes a balance between the unique “orange” wine style we are known for, and the more traditional trappings of a new world Chardonnay. Full bodied with a touch of tannin, it’s an enticing wine full of baked apple, honey and orchard fruit flavors.

Viognier is the perfect varietal to ferment as an “Orange Wine” because the extended skin contact only accentuates the full and rich body the grape is already known for. Structured and fruit forward, this Viognier has notes of honey, stone fruit and tropical flavors.

This is a very rich and powerful Orange Muscat that shows off plenty of intensity and structure. Yet, it remains playful in spirit with a touch of sweetness and mouthwatering fruit flavors. It’s delicious and great to pair with everything from spicy foods to dessert.

RED WINES

We focus on the production of natural red wines from single vineyards across Colorado. When viewing the list below, you will find the name of the grape varietal aswell as the particular vineyard site that it is grown at. Unlike many wineries, we prefer to keep these vineyards separate so that the terroir can be understood.

This 2018 is surely one of our favorite vintages of Sangiovese in recent memory. Immensely expressive aromas with notes of fresh cream, red berry fruit and dark cherry. Layer after layer of ripe fruit please the palate, while a long smooth (creamy) finish gives balance to an otherwise fruit dominant wine. Though quite young, the use of new American Oak barrels has given this a sense of poise and balance rarely seen at this stage.

The new vintage of Black Zinfandel is a great example of the elegant side of the varietal. There’s plenty of fruit, but it maintains a vibrant, exuberant freshness that’s often absent in large production examples. Further, it has a subtle tangy spice character that makes it an interesting choice for food pairing. Don’t worry though, it tastes great on it’s own too! This might be the most approachable, easy drinking Zin we’ve produced so far.

While some Grenache can be quite rugged, this vintage embraces the more elegant side of the varietal. Light bodied, yet complex, this has expressive and refined notes of dark cherry, baking spice and rose petal. On the palate, the wine is graceful with gentle tannins and beautifully integrated acidity.

A rustic blend of 37% Grenache, 24% Syrah, 39% Mourvedre that balances both “New” and “Old” World flavors. On the nose there’s an interesting contrast between notes of leather, cinnamon and fresh strawberry. It’s certainly a bold wine but the tannins are gentle and balanced.

This forgotten grape is sourced from old vines in the historic Amador County of California. The older vines naturally create amazing concentration and purity of fruit. Even with ample ripeness, it’s still balanced, nuanced and extremely easy to drink.

The new vintage showcases everything we love about Tempranillo grapes. Full on flavor yet pure, this wine remains easy drinking and fresh. Aromatically, it leaps from the glass with notes of black cherry and ripe plum. There’s a subtle minerality on the finish, which is an interesting contrast to the fruit character.

A wine of serious structure and depth, this new Syrah is everything we love about the varietal. It’s rich and full bodied with plenty of dark fruit character that makes it a perfect pairing for red meat. Though this wine spent time in a new barrel, there’s still plenty of herbal spice notes that seem to amplify as the wine gets air – a hint as to how this bottle may develop in the cellar.

This is not your average Malbec! The incredibly deep and mesmerizing color immediately pulls you into the glass, where intense flavors of cassis, blackberry and spice are generously unveiled. Powerful and distinguished, this is a serious wine that demands attention.

Stomped by kids at Tagawa Gardens, this is a delicious and powerful Merlot. Ripe and expressive, the tannins are fully developed, allowing the bright red fruit character to shine through. This is a big wine, and stands in stark contrast to typical commercial merlots.

Brother’s is back! An exceptional vintage of Brother’s Cab! This delicious Lodi grown Cabernet is full of classic flavors of red currant, plum and blackberry flavors. It also has plenty of spice with green peppercorn/ tomato leaf aromas. On the palate, it’s reserved yet balanced with a terrific acidity and tannin.

Sourced from a small “old vine”, dry-farmed vineyard, this Cab has a powerful presence to say the least. Dark and brooding with flavors of elderberry and stewed fruit, the oak brings a round texture and smooth, lush mouthfeel.

A bold, yet earthy expression of Cab Franc that demonstrates classic traits of the varietal. It’s easy drinking with a soft mouthfeel and approachable tannins. A touch of brambleberry character on the palate belies the herbal, green pepper spice showcased in the aromas.

Petite Sirah is one of our favorite grapes, and this is no exception. Full bodied, powerful and fruit forward like most—however, this vintage is unique with notes of black pepper, exotic Asian spice and a unique cigar box aroma. Not to be missed!

DESSERT WINES

In addition to dry red and white wines, we also produce several naturally made dessert wines.

A sweet and tangy red perfect after dinner, as sangria, or for those that need to please their sweet-tooth! Candied cherry and spiced raisin flavors tickle your tongue, while the sensations of jammy big Zin are still not forgotten in this Late Harvest. Cheers!

Unless you are willing to travel to the Douro Valley itself, you will not find a more authentic Port than this! We source traditional Portuguese varietals (Tinto Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinto Souzao, Tinto Cao) to create this delicious, sweet “Ruby style” port. This vintage has a beautiful focus and energy, which brings a liveliness to the sweet, rich dark fruit flavors. Not to be missed!

Planted with a view, this wine is further proof that Colorado is a fantastic region for growing Syrah. This wine hits all the marks with layered aromas of white pepper, game and fresh herbs. On the palate, it’s ripe and lush with black fruit flavors culminating in a spicy, long finish.

Sourced from a small “old vine”, dry-farmed vineyard, this Cab has a powerful presence to say the least. Dark and brooding with flavors of elderberry and stewed fruit, the oak brings a round texture and smooth, lush mouthfeel.

A very special cherry wine that is aged in a Stranahan whiskey barrel. This adds interesting whiskey flavors to this already delicious dessert wine. Almond, spice and strawberry aromas are followed by sweet hazelnut and cherry flavors, reminiscent of fresh Summer cherry pie.
